PSS Also, I should add, it is important for Gov. Bush, as a governor, to provide correct info to people who are FL certified teachers -- and I am such a person.

Because now, when people ask me about this, be they students, parents, teachers, supporters of Gov. Bush or non-supporters of Gov. Bush, I can provide totally accurate information -- before, I was only half-right. And, I know the teachers union is not going to get it right either.

For more info on the numbers of FL students involved with vouchers, see this recent AP article:

374 students in failing schools sign up for vouchers

The end of the article mentions over 8,000 students have signed up for the McKay Scholarships.

But, out of 8,900 students eligible for the Opportunity Scholarships (for failing schools), only 374 met the deadline and signed up.

Great info. I didn't understand the Florida voucher program HALF as much as I thought I did...and I thought I only understood half of it to begin with!
